SUMMARY:Policy Rounds: Including older people from disadvantaged groups in research practice: A compensation series
DESCRIPTION:Including older people from disadvantaged groups in research practice: A compensation series  \nDate: February 22\, 2022 at 2:00pm AT/1:00pm ET \nDescription: Research practice often overlooks larger questions about meaningful participation\, disadvantage\, and vulnerability. One notable example is how standard and historical practices of not-compensating particular groups\, or of restricting compensation as a form of control\, can contribute to inequality and sustain harmful practices against older people from disadvantaged groups. Dr. Grenier will discuss and share a series developed by AGE-WELL’s CC1 team on knowledge mobilization. This webinar is intended to start a conversation about the importance of compensation\, and serve as a resource for funders\, ethics committees\, universities\, and academic faculty and students carrying out research with older people in Canada. \nSpeaker: Amanda Grenier\, Professor and Norman and Honey Schipper Chair in Gerontological Social Work at the University of Toronto and Baycrest Hospital \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Community Connectors: Harnessing positive community energy to address social isolation and loneliness
DESCRIPTION:August 2021—Social isolation and loneliness among older adults has been described as a global epidemic by the US Surgeon general prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. It may impact one’s health and has been said to cost $1644 USD per person yearly in health care dollars. Systems are slowly realizing the importance of addressing this issue. To further guide decision makers\, three components can be considered when setting policies aimed at assisting community members and developing interventions: interventions should be adaptable to local context\, employ a community development approach and be productive in nature. The community of Fredericton\, New Brunswick plans to build on momentum it has generated and develop its own Community Connector program to complement the many wonderful initiatives already in place. \n\nSpeaker: Lyne Ouellet\, University of New Brunswick PhD candidate and Research Assistant at St. Thomas University\nWhen: August 18 @ 2:00-2:30 pm ADT / 1:00-1:30 pm ET\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:How attention to provincial long-term care policies can support or inhibit resident quality of life
DESCRIPTION:July 2021—Long-term care homes are complex settings in which people live and work. They are a place many call “home” in their later years yet they are highly-regulated environments with a strong emphasis on safety and security. This paradox emerges as a key message from our review of policies in British Columbia\, Alberta\, Ontario\, and Nova Scotia and has been further highlighted during the pandemic. This presentation will provide insights from the Seniors-Adding Life to Years project’s policy review and challenge decision makers to think about how policies support or inhibit resident quality of life. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Janice Keefe\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Family Studies and Gerontology Lena Isabel Jodrey Chair in Gerontology and Director\, Nova Scotia Centre on Aging Mount Saint Vincent University\nWhen: July 21 @ 2:00-2:30 pm ADT and 1:00-1:30 pm ET\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:The need for policy change to facilitate improved pain assessment and management in long-term care facilities
DESCRIPTION:May 2021—As many as 80% of long-term care residents may be suffering from persistent pain. Yet pain problems in this population are underrecognized\, underassessed and undermanaged. Underlying conditions causing pain may go undetected leading to increased suffering and\, often\, higher future health care costs. Current policies specify minimum standards for pain assessment that do not meet patients’ needs. This presentation will outline policy changes that are needed to improve pain assessment and management in long-term care facilities. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Thomas Hadjistavropoulos\, Research Chair in Aging and Health\, Director of the Centre on Aging and Health and Professor of Psychology at the University of Regina\, Saskatchewan\, Canada.\nWhen: May 27 @ 3:30 – 4:00 pm ADT or 2:30 – 3:00 pm ET\n\nRegister here \n

SUMMARY:Engaging older adults in research: The OA-Involve experience
DESCRIPTION:The OA-INVOLVE project documents best practices of involving older adults in technology research and development with the aim to establish guidelines for older adult engagement. The active involvement of older adults in the research and development of technologies for older adults has scientific\, commercial\, and broader societal benefits.  However\, due to barriers such as lengthy ethics approvals at universities\, lack of researcher training in participatory methods\, and restrictive funding structures\, older adults are often not engaged in the development of technologies from the beginning. In this presentation\, we explore these barriers and how institutional policies can be changed to better support researchers in meaningfully engaging older adults throughout the research process.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Amanda Jenkins\, Research Coordinator for OA-INVOLVE\, AGE-WELL\, Dalhousie University\nRegister Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yA7yK808S_eAOpGx9eVYcg

DESCRIPTION:The number of missing persons living with dementia is on the rise and is quickly becoming one of the number one populations that are being reported missing to police around the world. As we begin to identify and develop strategies to mitigate the risks of getting lost among this population\, we will need policies to support their implementation. The purpose of this webinar will be to share our research team’s aims and experiences as it pertains to mobilizing international partnerships through networks to inform dementia and missing persons policies. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Noelannah Neubauer\, Post-Doctoral Fellow\, University of Waterloo\nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9Q1gIcotSEiVZLDQYDvU0A

SUMMARY:The use of automated vehicles by older adults with cognitive impairments
DESCRIPTION:While the race to bring automated vehicles to the market continues to accelerate\, the societal implications of the wide use of this technology have not yet been fully addressed. Notably\, developing licencing requirements that can accommodate individuals of all capabilities have been identified as one of the necessary first steps by the Canadian government. This talk will provide an overview of an AGE-WELL  project on the use of automated vehicles by older adults and discuss the potential implications on licencing guidelines.    \n\nSpeaker: Shabnam Haghzare\, PhD Candidate\, University of Toronto\nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-iiZZZqCQO-I4wprHmHE-w\n\n

SUMMARY:Policy challenges and approaches to the ethical design\, development\, and procurement of Age-Tech
DESCRIPTION:Older adults (65+)\, who are already at risk of social isolation and loneliness\, are at increasing risks of also being “digitally isolated”. The fast-changing landscape of services being transitioned to a primarily digital format (especially services essential to this demographic\, from health\, to financial\, and to personal/social connectivity) may in fact lead to older adults’ digital marginalization. In our AGE-WELL research\, we have been investigating inclusive design methods such as the participatory design of interactive applications. However\, in our investigation of industry practices and policies\, we have also uncovered barriers to the adoption of such methods by developers and designers. We reflect here on the value of such approaches and the limitations of relying exclusively on market forces to address barriers to the use of these design methods. We then describe our emerging research on the policy and procurement changes that may bring meaningful and structurally sustainable changes to the inclusive and ethical development of age-tech. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Cosmin Munteanu\, Director of Technologies for Ageing Gracefully lab (TAGlab) at the University of Toronto Mississauga. With contributions from Simon Cook and Humaira Tasnim.\nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_B6xNKk4LRB-C8NB0wjRGHw

SUMMARY:When employees are diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or early onset dementia at work: Getting ahead of the curve
DESCRIPTION:As the workforce ages\, there will be an exponential rise in the number of workers who develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early onset dementia (EOD) while on the job. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities emphasizes that reasonable accommodation must be provided to individuals with disabilities such as MCI|EOD\, so that they may be able to enjoy equal opportunity in the workplace. Dr. McMurray will provide a high-level summary of the Cog@Work team’s research into the science behind employers’ response to this “rising tide”\, and the Canadian policy environment which guides them. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Josephine McMurray\, Associate Professor\, Wilfrid Laurier University\nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_v3Lzq3gAR4aATHYcsibngQ

SUMMARY:APPTA Policy Stakeholder Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The AGE-WELL National Innovation Hub Advancing Policies and Practices in Technology and Aging (APPTA) supports governments in generating opportunities to address the policy and practice challenges of an aging population. A joint initiative of AGE-WELL and the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation\, APPTA aims to bridge the gap between research and implementation\, create opportunities for knowledge exchange\, and foster an environment of innovation and collaboration in aging across Canada. \nWe believe knowledge sharing is crucial to breaking the mould and improving the quality of life of older adults across Canada. At APPTA\, we take a connectivity approach to complex challenges\, bringing people together from east to west\, north to south\, to share their best ideas and work collectively on policy solutions that will benefit Canadian seniors. As such\, each year APPTA hosts two Policy Stakeholder Meetings with the objective of bringing policy and decision-makers from across the country together around identified policy priorities\, and offer a meaningful opportunity for connection and exchange. \nThis year\, our Policy Stakeholder Meeting will take place on October 22nd\, 2019 in Moncton\, NB\, and will be followed by the AGE-WELL Annual Conference. The topic for our meeting will be focused on the following policy priority: what are the options that governments can employ to provide enhanced supports for caregivers?
